The city is called “Little Paris”, so let’s grab a taxi and take a look around.

Bucharest, Romania
Mega Image is the regular grocery store chain where you can buy bread, goat cheese, beer, Jack Daniels, and of course the best red wine I’ve ever tasted. And I’m of course talking about Romanian Wine. Whisky is usually my thing, but the Romanians sure know how to make their wine. And everything labeled with “dark” and “stout” is a win(e) for me.

There’s a lot of abandoned and damaged buildings in Bucharest that’s clearly seen better days. Many of them are so decayed and dilapidated that they seem to be on the verge of collapsing. This one above is an enormous, unfinished shell of a building that’s been abandoned for 30 years. The plan was that this should be a historical museum, but after the fall of the communist regime in the late 80s, the project was tossed over to the Romanian Radio Company, which had no money to complete it. Since then, it has been empty.
